I called in sick today. Now I I can savor good singer-singwriter music all day.

[@_MrPink_]

Back, three years later, and I am still as devastated and blown away by this as I was the first time. Everything about this just reaches into my soul and won't let go. LOVE.

I heard the story of how she came to own such an old guitar. I believe it was made in 1936, but they were made for each other. Beautiful sounding guitar forever bound with a fantastic singer songwriter. I've seen this video at least 50 times. Great song.

[@SuperMIKEFREE]

Caitlin Canty has took the acoustic/singer/songwriter world by the throat with her poetic genius and the sense to play very little on guitar. Her guitar playing is sooo good because she keeps it simple, allowing us to hear those beautiful notes resonate and blend with her beautiful voice. This lady leaves guitar virtuoso's in her wake, all that and so beautiful looking without make up, CLASSIC.

[@_MrPink_]

I have to agree. In a world comprised mostly of too much, too often and too soon, Caitlin's work is a lifeline. Her simplicity is her power. I was a charter subscriber to Paste, and am so glad to see them putting up artists like this. She gets it. And so do we.

[@JarOfMoMack]

Haven’t found a musician since Travis Meeks that drifts so close to the stars with raw talent - I did today.

[@depouillementpersonnel]

Love your enthusiasm but ever heard of Yngwie Malmsteen or Jeff Loomis? Ugly crowd for a grandiose music as usual.

[@ovash1]

What an awesome singer songwriter. Years of experience make it sound simple, but not just anyone can, not only play and sing, but take it to a whole other level. The song is haunting, beautiful, and sparse. I don't know what it's about, but it doesn't matter. Great song, masterfully done.

[@John-wr6yo]

When i have had enough of the hum drum and noise of polluted crappy music,i always turn to this performing artist for melody and lyrics worth listening too. Every aspect of her art is genius and perfection.

[@linejumper9741]

That old "Recording King" she playing is a beast .

[@simonoconnorable]

Whenever I'm gone this is for my true loves Audrey Marie and Liam John

[@jimmyp410]

This is haunting. She's so amazing.

[@HardPen-jj5nl]

This talent!

[@fredericMalaurie]

Tout simplement magnifique et envoûtant. Il n'y rien à changer ..tout est juste : la musique, la voix , la présence, les mots et l'émotion...ça fait du bien un souffle de poésie merci

[@kitthearty]

Been coming back to this for years. Love it. Very modernist? Like a Virginia wolf or a katherine mansfield. If the edwardian 1920's ladies could sing. Very nice

[@markwilliams8532]

I like this much better than the recorded version.

[@Interessantes824]

How come Americana singers are that beautiful? I bet this kind of music is the most beautiful. I mean it. Greetings from old Europe.

[@daviddishman7491]

So beautiful - singing and Caitlin!!! 💖

[@billlattrell734]

I've been a Caitlin Canty fan for more than a few years. Always compelling. Chilling, elegant voice. Her lyrical creations are sheer musical poetry. I am hoping that her genius becomes known throughout the music industry as a standard to be compared to.

[@addison6665]

Still my favorite song.

[@FatMatt_Tones]

Amazing. Truly hypnotic. Smokey and yet angelic voice. I'd love to send her some music and lyrics I wrote about the woman at the well...

[@mutantspacehonky]

Diamond in the rough. A new favorite artist I have found. Amazing.

[@joesugarman1355]

This is a serious fantastic recording. Congrats to Paste. Certainly helps that Caitlin Canty is a fantastic talent, too!

[@TomSilverhypnosis]

Caitlin is so awesome and heart felt. A musicians musicians and poetry to music. I love her deep soul songs.

[@TomClarke1995]

I’m a beginning guitar player. This isn’t something a lot of people will care about, but I love watching her hands as she plays. She’s precise, and it’s obvious she’s not just a career musician; there’s never a string-buzz when she strums.

[@YoYo-gt5iq]

There's an old vid of a black woman playing a song called "freight train" you might like.

[@AdamZarquon]

Breathtakingly brilliant...!

[@dopo8333]

Love it.

[@alfonsomerchand6586]

'Welcome Joy welcome Sorrow', Beauty so distant, so near… Caitlin sounds so nonchalant that pleasure and suffering feel so easy to bear, great!!!

[@cowboygeologist7772]

I never heard of her until yesterday. Now, I can't stop looking for more on KZbin. I hope there are videos on iTunes I can buy too.

[@stevedegeest1746]

I love this song. Her songs are like poems.

[@stillmeadowfarm]

She is a poet.

[@addison6665]

My new favorite song. It makes me happy and sad at the same time.

[@spencert.blessman7878]

God, that mix is so good! Love the mic! Now then, great song! Cheers

[@spencerm293]

Randomly came across CC, I'm glad I did!

[@joannewright7643]

Brilliant

[@tom.allez2134]

Amazing!!!!

[@spencert.blessman7878]

Great!

[@kenbeckman3014]

Im listing to you on a NAD tube amp with Klipsch speakers its amazing. Wonder if the guitar chose you in a way just the story how that Tabaco beauty in sound came to you. It sure complements your voice. Wonder how you learned to play too.

[@_MrPink_]

Just shown this by a music bud... I absolutely LOVE this. Caitlin, you clearly dream the music. Paste and Cait, thanks so much for this. New fan made.

[@1101964]

glad i found you, got lost in your music .......just beautiful

[@LarryinBrookline]

Good on KZbin for dropping her into my suggestions but why I haven't I heard of her until now, 2020?!

[@michaelc7723]

Finally, a superb poet, songwriter, singer, musician whose music I love and is still performing! Ran across her listening to old Jeffrey Foucault recordings.

[@MrMilligan503]

Mind blown

[@rahang4126]

mesmerizing

[@dfbess]

Good voice..

[@John-wr6yo]

What a voice,what an american treasure,what an outstanding song smith. Nothing but good all the way around .

[@macarius8802]

Beautiful ... oh, and the music too.

[@YoYo-gt5iq]

Ive spent a good portion of today watching Canty on youTube. The rest, i wasted.

[@rscottenglish]

Try listening at 1.25 speed it's a bit fast, but it has a momentum that the original lacks.

[@ellahansen6033]

or!!! crazy idea!! listen to her music the way she wrote it and the way she plays it!!

[@Sipled1]

Ohh, that was interesting. Takes on another folksy vibe.

[@25lighters91]

Where is my comment...I dropped it when this song first uploaded

[@fordsrestorations970]

🗯 A portal opens , stepping out knocking the dust off his clothes with his Cowboy hat from the 1880s steps up and says , "that's real purty Ma'am" hands Caitlin a yellow rose of friendship, smiles and says I' ll be seeing you... steps back in the portal and disappears...

[@idontgrillonwed]

Ophelia?

[@HardPen-jj5nl]

CC. I got nothin'.. Let's you & me meet up for real & take a walk. Chaperored is fine; I want you to trust me. My intentions are honorable.

[@KlingbergWingMkII]

Oh, no, great voice, but way, way too much reverb.

[@HardPen-jj5nl]

Has it really been 5+ years?!? Yikes! It only feels like a mere twenty or so. Turn your head...
